Rubbing his eyes that hadn't woken up, Andy yawned and sat up from bed.

Gillian estimates that she will have to sleep for a long time, her stamina really can't keep up with Andy, no way, many times he can't fully enjoy, some women rely on superb skills to make up for this, some women don't look like women but they do have strong bodies, and Gillian doesn't touch either, she is a weak novice, who can blame this, it should be said that there are very few normal people among the women Andy met along the way, and Gillian is indeed a normal woman.

After all this time, she finally escaped from the clutches of the ghouls and no longer had to be a slave, and her friends who she regarded as family were no longer far away, and it was normal for her heartstrings to relax and look for support, and if she was rejected, I was afraid that it would make her worried.

All I'm going to do today is go to Sheriff Ralph and talk about the strange new drug that's trending at Hoover Dam.

After cleaning up for a while, Andy left the room alone.

After questioning at the police station, he learned that Sheriff Ralph was investigating the case in the central area, so Andy immediately took the elevator to the top of the dam to go down to the central area, and soon saw Sheriff Ralph taking the deputy sheriff for questioning in Dusty's store.

"Dusty, how long have you been selling this medicine, and how many people have you sold?"

Sheriff Ralph looked like an eagle and asked a firm question.

The dark-skinned tall plump woman Dusty was lying on the counter surrounded by two mercenaries with guns on her back, smoking a cigarette in one hand and her face with the other hand, with an indifferent expression, this hob meat old fritter has long lost the last bit of awe of the Hoover Dam City police after so many years in the central area, her "Dusty Desire" can be described as full of five poisons, casinos, brothels, pharmacies, taverns... Even some fixed places for black market trading, in short, can be used as a typical wasteland shop, as the boss, Dusty is not an honest person.

"What was sold, how long, how many people sold? Sheriff Ralph, I don't understand what you say, how many times have I told you before you believe me? I came into contact with that drug dealer yesterday, and I just got such a small amount of goods, but I was going to find someone to put it down to test the water, and I didn't even have time to do it before you came to the door, and I didn't even start selling it, how can I answer your question? Your question doesn't even come to me. ”

Sheriff Ralph slapped the cigarette roll in his hand on the counter.

"This medicine has been flowing into the Hoover Dam for more than a week, and many people have been contaminated, where else can the entire Hoover Dam be dispensed with except for you?"

Dusty rolled her eyes.

"Who did the drug dealer sell this thing to, and he still had to tell me that he couldn't do it? How do I know if he or someone else betrayed me? Anyway, I'm telling the truth, believe it or not. ”

Sheriff Ralph stared at her coldly and didn't say a word until Andy suddenly squeezed in and broke the deadlock.

“..........”

He picked up the cigarette roll on the counter and opened it to see that it was all a green, sticky powder.

The tingling sensation of an electric shock hit his brain, and he suddenly remembered the topics he had talked about with the chemist Marty in the temple on the reservation and the thing he had smoked later, and it was a small burst of indescribable pleasantness, followed by a horrible hallucinations like a descent into hell and a series of serious adverse reactions, which eventually led to the loss of a small part of his memory....

Subconsciously clenched his fists, and the terrifying expression made the surrounding Dusty and Ralph take two steps back.

"Andy?"

Sheriff Ralph's call brought Andy out of his mood, and he let go of his hand, the cigarette had turned into powder, which was mixed with a lot of white particles like the one Marty had given him before.

"It's called a hot kiss, right?"

Andy asked the two of them with his hands outstretched.

Dusty snorted.

"Ouch, isn't this the big celebrity next to Mayor Dodge, who was so imposing in my store at the beginning, what is this for?"

Sergeant Ralph glanced at her and answered Andy's question.

"Yes, this thing is called Hot Kiss, after my investigation about a week ago, it began to be brought in by drug dealers in the wasteland and into Hoover Dam City, it is so powerful and cheap, those addicts who can't afford traditional medicine all start to try it, and as a result, one or two of them all become crazy and stupid, and some of them run out of bottle caps and can't afford to buy them anymore and start to get mentally ill, slashing around with knives, and even shooting indiscriminately."

Andy ignored Dusty's screams and took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, smashed the spout and cap of the wine bottle with a slight force on his fingers, and then poured the hot kiss powder in the palm of his hand and shook it twice, and poured it directly on the ground.

It seems that Marty must have improved the recipe after that, and the effect of this thing is even more powerful than he felt at the beginning.

"Hey! That's my wine! ”

Dusty motioned for the mercenaries to stop Andy from stealing alcohol, but the mercenaries shook their heads and said they couldn't help him, they had all heard of this man's prestige, it was said that he had almost emptied the bounty hunter bounty list in Hoover Dam City, participated in several large-scale military battles, and had close friendships with the top officials of Hoover Dam City, not to mention a good reputation among the people.

Sheriff Ralph stood by and didn't say anything, a bottle of wine was a bottle of wine, and it was all Dusty's treat.

Andy casually threw out a few bottle caps and reached Siqi.

"What does that drug dealer look like, and where is he?"

Dusty counted the number of caps and felt that there were not enough caps.

"Two hundred bottle caps as a message fee, if you don't want to, go out and ask yourself."

Andy didn't hesitate to give her the cap, and this time Dusty was satisfied.

"That drug dealer.... No one knows what his name is, he always wears a yellow hat, so everyone calls him 'Yellow Hat', and now he is probably in the hospital in the dam top area, because he has been in trouble recently and has been injured, that guy is the most desperate, he can find the best hospital to treat, and he will definitely not go to the wasteland quack. ”

Andy nodded silently, this' Yellow Hat's not having been to the reservation before must have been in contact with the merchants who have been to the reservation, which shows that Marty did not give up after he refused to help, and found some merchants to help him promote his products, and it is ridiculous that his ideal of using drugs that can make people feel happy to soften the hostility and discrimination between ghouls and humans is now brewing terrible consequences, I don't know if Marty is really wishful thinking or behind the scenes, with the ghouls' sluggish constitution to chemicals, the same thing may be more than ten times more effective on humans, but whether this is expected or not, the immediate need is to prevent the hot kiss from continuing to circulate。

"What's the trouble he's in?"

Dusty raised his hand again to add the cap.

"Four hundred!"

Unable to stand it, Sergeant Ralph stops Andy and slaps his pistol in front of Dusty.

"Dusty! I am now officially informing you that because you refused to cooperate with our investigation by the Hoover Dam City Police Department, I now believe that you are suspected of being involved in the trafficking of dangerous drugs Hot Kiss, and your store needs to be closed for at least a month! If you refuse to cooperate then this will be executed immediately, do you have any comments? ”

Dusty exclaimed in disbelief, then with an angry look on her face, pulling out her shotgun directly from under the counter.

As soon as she moved, the two mercenaries around her could only raise their guns, and even the policemen behind Sheriff Ralph also raised their guns to confront each other, and for a while, the prostitutes, gamblers, and drinkers in the tavern stopped what they were doing and turned to look lively.

"What's the reason for that? You're abusing your power to threaten me! I told you everything I knew, and I didn't sell a single cigarette to anyone else, so why did you close my shop? Get the hell out of here! ”

Dusty's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and issued an eviction order.

Sheriff Ralph slowly reached out a finger and pushed up the brim of his police hat, tilting his head slightly to stare at Dusty.

"And what are you doing now? Want to attack the police? I'll give you one last chance, shove my damn broken gun back in, and answer all the questions we asked! ”

Dusty's cheeks twitched a few times, and he gasped for air from his nose.

In the end, she slowly put down her gun, and the two mercenaries behind her were also as good as they were, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The 'Yellow Hat' was unwilling to give credit to a poisonous insect a few days ago, so the poisonous insect stabbed him with a screwdriver, but fortunately the stab was not the point, and he did not finish the game on the spot, so he immediately found a half-hung doctor from a small clinic to bandage it, and then took the elevator to the top of the dam to find Dr. Yuri, which was three days ago, and now where he is, whether he is still alive, I don't know any of this."

As she spoke, she slammed the table with her big thick hand.

"I'm done talking, you strips get out, all of them."

Sheriff Ralph held out his forefinger and pointed at Dusty.

"If you say half a lie, I will definitely come again, and then there is no need for your fat woman to play prestige with us again, Lao Tzu will let your broken shop close forever!"

After the harsh words, Sheriff Ralph left with the cops, and Andy had no reason to stay here.

But just as he was about to leave, Dusty stopped him.

"Wait, Andy, I have something for you."

The two then walked to a private room and sat down, and Dusty pretended to be polite.

"How's it going? You're the hottest topic in Hoover Dam right now, and you're not planning to do something storied. ”

Andy picked up the water poured on the table and took a sip of it, motioning for Dusty to make a long story short.

"There's no need for this nonsense, just talk about it."

Dusty smiled and lowered her voice.

"Recently here in the central area, many people are jealous of you, you have to understand, the more people in the dam crest area are the people who sing praises, the more they are targeted in the central area, this bastard even the mayor of Dodge dares to scold casually, naturally will not bypass you, the 'big hero', you also know, in the past, Mary Jo has received a lot of customers, some people have put Mary Jo's departure and you in contact, messy scandal rumors are spreading, the key is.... Some of them are really close to the truth, like you made her belly bigger and abandoned her or something..."

Andy snapped the glass on the table.

"First of all, there is no evidence at the moment that she is pregnant with mine, and secondly, I have not abandoned her, I attended the wedding with her at the request of his father, and also left a large bottle cap, and my last departure from her was also strongly requested by his father, so I have a clear conscience; I've done everything I could, you know better than I know what Mary Jo did before, and I still have a lot of important things to do, and I can't spend all my time on one thing forever for an illusory reason... Say, what do you mean. ”

Dusty smiled ambiguously, and slowly said the purpose of her leaving Andy in to speak.

"I can help you suppress public opinion that is not good for you, although you don't necessarily care about the buzzing of flies and mosquitoes, but even if the insects can't hurt you, you can still do it, so why let it go? There are more people with a clear conscience, how do others know if you really have a clear conscience because of your integrity? Those bastards who are considered cold-blooded and ruthless actually have a clear conscience, and I have seen more than one person who can sleep on his pillow after a murder, and they don't feel that they have done anything bad, oh... If you want me to help, I will definitely not refuse, but this favor cannot be in vain. ”

She stretched out her fingers and rubbed them, causing Andy to let out a sarcastic dry laugh.

"What? When I paid you for intelligence before, I was too generous, so what misunderstanding did you have? What do you think I am that can be squeezed casually? ”

Seeing that he got up and was about to leave, Dusty hurriedly said something to stay.

"Wait! Even if you don't care, what about Mary Jo? There's a possibility, right? She's pregnant with yours! ”

Andy's footsteps stopped, and he looked back at Dusty indifferently, a look that made her feel creepy.

"Tell me what you can do?"

Dusty swallowed, beginning to regret not letting the mercenaries follow.

"I can get the bastards in the heart to stop the discussion from focusing on you, and I can help you get rid of the scandals by just shifting Mary Jo's children and the reason for leaving to the 'Mr. Rabbit' who drowned in the stinking gutter, and... Actually, I also like that girl very much, I really have the idea of treating her as a daughter, not that 'daughter', it's a real daughter, you know how much she hates her family and her birth environment, this hate will not disappear because she is pregnant, and she will definitely run away after she is born, and she has no other choice, I said here you also understand, right? What do you think of her in your heart? ”

Andy was silent for a moment, then sat down in the chair across from Dusty.

"How much?"

Dusty held out two fingers.

This certainly doesn't mean two hundred.

"Your greed will hurt you one day, and you will fall off the top of the Hoover Dam."

"Or maybe not? Or even if I fall, I can buy a rope to climb up, you say? ”

"What if things don't go the way you say?"

"I've done a lot of this, and there's no one in the entire Hoover Dam City who is more experienced than me, you can trust me, trust me completely, at least in this matter, you will never regret it."

"Then let me ask myself, if things don't go the way you say, and you don't need Sheriff Ralph to help you close the shop, I'll let you fall off the top of the Hoover Dam for sure, and promise that there won't be a rope to help you, and you'll fall on the surface of the water and become a mashed meat and be eaten by the mireururk, and finally sink to the bottom of the water as a piece of poop!"

“... Oh! God, dear, I'm really scared to death by you, I promise I'll do everything like I said, so can you give me what I want? ”

Andy took out two thousand caps and handed them to Dusty, patiently watching her count them one by one.

"Okay! Believe me, then, the only hole in your reputation will be closed within a week, and if that poor little Mary Jo comes to me again, I will still open my arms to her, and continue to take care of her as before, what do you think? ”

"It's better to be like this."

Andy had no reason to stay here, he kicked off his chair and walked out, and the two mercenaries at the door were startled by him and almost didn't fall, and when he passed by the wine table in the store, a bald drunk wasteland with a red face rolled his eyes and showed a malicious smile on his face, he frowned and made a few glances at his drinking friends, and then raised a bottle of beer and drank it while quietly sticking out his shoes.

The next second, his feet were slammed down, and before he could scream out of the beer fountain's big mouth, the beer bottle in his hand was snatched away and smashed directly on his bald head, accompanied by the splash of beer foam and glass bottle fragments, the sound of the bald head snorting on the table and the exclamations and cheers of the crowd.

Andy walked out of Dusty's bar and threw the remains of the broken bottle in his hand into a dark corner full of garbage, the sound scared away several large mutant rats, and looked up to see Sheriff Ralph talking to the others with a walkie-talkie, the old world equipment that had apparently been recovered from Dog City and transported by rail to Hoover Dam.

"Is that so? .... Are you sure? ..... What a damn one! ”

Sheriff Ralph yelled angrily.

"How did this bastard die?!"

Andy walked over slowly.

"What's going on?"

Sheriff Ralph covered his face with his hands.

"That 'yellow hat' was confirmed dead on the street corner of the dam crest just now, and his clothes were stripped clean, he did die from a stab wound on his body, which is good... Where the hell is this supply? ”

Andy tells Sheriff Ralph what he knows.

"This kind of smoke called Hot Kiss, the contents are made of the powder of a mutated mushroom mixed with something, and its inventor is in a ghoul settlement far away in the southeast, called the Reservation, and the ghoul wants to make a bottle cap from this, and it is impossible to find only a small drug dealer to help him sell his goods, I think he is just a small dealer, and the real big dealer is someone else."

Sheriff Ralph scratched his head, as if he couldn't figure out something.

"So.... But these facts did not help us solve the case, I also knew that it was a small drug dealer, all the traffickers and pawns in Hoover Dam City were under our control and surveillance, even if it was a mobile big drug dealer, it was impossible for them to stay in Hoover Dam City for a long time to sell drugs, originally I thought they had cooperated with Dusty, but after counting the data, I found that there were more smokers in the dam crest area than in the central area, which is not logical at all, those smokers have become difficult to communicate, and now how to complete the instructions given by the Dodge mayor? ”

Andy didn't have much of an idea, but he thought there might be clues on the 'Yellow Hat' that he hadn't noticed.

"We should go up and see the dead drug dealer."
